Therefore, although the village style is simple, it is not dilapidated. It is not as prosperous as the big cities, but it still has what it should have.
The villagers' homes are equipped with cement roads, televisions, water heaters, air conditioners, etc. If their children are successful outside, the decoration of their homes is not much different from that of urban families.
"Lin Han, it's ok, come in."
Lin Hansheng cleaned the house and said to Lin Han who was looking around.
Hearing this, Lin Han walked into Lin Hansheng's home.
The facilities inside the house are not much different from those of an ordinary home. It is not as backward as imagined and has everything that should be there.
It just retains a bit of the simplicity of farming life, which is a bit like the combination of urban and rural areas.
I haven't been back for a long time, and the air in the house smells damp and dusty.
"Life is pretty good."
Lin Han said with a smile.
"Of course not. After all, as a village chief, you have to have some dignity, right?"
Lin Hansheng also joked.
Lin Hansheng started to wash some pots and pans, and wiped the tables and chairs clean. After a while, the whole room looked much newer.
"Let's go, Lin Han, let's go find that old woman now."
After almost tidying up the house, Lin Hansheng said to Lin Han.
Walking on the small paths in the village, you can see vegetables, fruits and melons everywhere, and the sunlight blocked by trees several meters high leaves a hint of shade.
"Hey, Grandma Chen."
As Lin Hansheng walked, he greeted an old lady in the field.
"Oh, isn't this Village Chief Lin?"
"Why haven't I seen you in the past few months? Are you planning to move to the city?"
Grandma Chen saw Lin Hansheng's simple smile and asked jokingly.
"Well, I guess so, Grandma Chen."
"I guess you're going to move to the city soon. Ah Yang is doing pretty well in the city."
"Grandma Chen, please stop working so hard and take a break. You have worked so hard for most of your life."
Lin Hansheng went down to the field and did some farm work for the old man, talking as he worked.
"Oh, what's the big deal? I've been doing this for most of my life, and now I'm suddenly quitting and I'm still a little uncomfortable."
"But, I don't want to go to the city. I feel more comfortable in the village. I have more old friends there."
"What if, when we go to that city and we are unfamiliar with the place, it will cause trouble for the child instead."
Lin Hansheng and Grandma Chen chatted in the field for a long time as if they were just chatting about family matters.
"Okay, okay, Grandma Chen, you have to take care of yourself too."
"I have to go see how Grandma Yue is doing."
"We'll have a good chat later when we have time."
Lin Hansheng washed his hands by the stream and said to Grandma Chen.
"Okay, okay, then go quickly. It's the season that's about to change these days."
"I heard that Xiaoyue's condition has become more serious. You should go and see her."
"She talks about you a lot."
Grandma Chen smiled and nodded, busying herself with the things in her hands while still speaking.
Farmers’ life is very simple. Although there are intrigues in the village, compared to the workplace, there are relatively fewer of them. The people are simple and honest, and everyone has come out of hardship.
After all, people tend to show compassion and empathy. When someone is in trouble, everyone will help.
However, it can also be seen that Lin Hansheng has relatively good interpersonal relationships in the village.
He did not fail as the village chief. At least everyone liked him, loved him and supported him.
Or maybe, Lin Hansheng is suitable for doing such things. Although he is not strong-willed, he can bring people closer together.
"It seems that the elderly people in this village like you very much."
Lin Han said.
"It's okay. I've been with them since I was a child. I'm growing up slowly, and he's getting older slowly too."
"When I was a kid, I often visited these grandparents' homes. Maybe we became familiar with them as we visited them over and over again."
"Later, their children all went to work in big cities, and there were not many young and middle-aged people left in the village."
"There are only a few of us left, so sometimes we help the grandparents with farm work, and they also invite us to their homes, so naturally, our relationship becomes closer."
Lin Hansheng said calmly.
If it was said that Lin Hansheng did not do well in terms of his strong personality, he would admit it.
However, when it comes to handling interpersonal relationships in the village, Lin Hansheng is no worse than anyone else.
“That’s the one.”
After walking for a while, Lin Han pointed to a tiled house that looked a bit shabby.
A tiled house suddenly appears among a bunch of reinforced concrete houses, which does look very abrupt.
"Granny Yue is considered a poor household in our village."
"My family is not well off, so even if I'm sick, I usually just endure it myself and don't go to the doctor for fear of spending money."
"If you endure it for too long, you will naturally suffer from the disease. But there is nothing you can do about it. Your family is not well off financially."
"Plus, the elderly are unwilling to trouble others, which has led to the current situation."
"So, Lin Han, when you go in later, don't mention anything about money, otherwise, Granny Yue will chase us away."
Before entering the house, Lin Hansheng gave Lin Han instructions.
Grandma Yue’s family situation was not good. She had no children and had to support the family by herself.
However, in this rapidly developing society, there is an old man who has not been exposed to the new world for a long time.
Coupled with the illness that plagued him, it was not easy for him to support himself by doing farm work.
Poor people will only become poorer, and this is something that Grandma Yue cannot change.
Even with the help of the people in the village and the government relief funds, Grandma Yue was unable to escape poverty.
Over time, Grandma Yue will start to worry about this issue.
People who want to be strong throughout their lives naturally don't want to trouble others, and will just bear it all by themselves silently.
Lin Hansheng pushed open the door skillfully and walked into the house, only to see that the facilities in the house were very dilapidated and old.
When you walk into the house, you can smell a musty smell, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Grandma Yue, how are you feeling lately?"
Lin Hansheng walked straight to the bed, lifted the bed curtain, and asked the old lady who was resting with her eyes closed.
Hearing the voice, Grandma Yue opened her eyes and looked several times before she could see clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.
"Han Sheng, you're back?"
Grandma Yue's voice sounded somewhat happy.
"Yes, I'm back, Grandma Yue, how are you feeling lately?"
Lin Hansheng held the old man's hand, stroking it gently and asked.
"It's just the same as before. It doesn't matter."
Grandma Yue sat up and greeted Lin Hansheng.
"Same old?"
